Tolpuddle Chardonnay 2013

Served in Qantas First

Grape Variety:Chardonnay

Tolpuddle Vineyard was established in 1988 and it took its name from Tolpuddle Martyrs: English convicts transported to Tasmania for forming an agricultural union. The leader of the Martyrs, George Loveless, served some of his sentence working on a property near Richmond, part of which is now Tolpuddle Vineyard. Tolpuddle Vineyard Chardonnay is entirely from the Tolpuddle Vineyard, first planted in 1988. In 2013, standout parcels were selected for this second release. It reflects the cool maritime climate of Tasmania's Coal River Valley, and the site itself is gently sloping, north-east facing, with light silica over sandstone. The result is fine and precise Chardonnay with a backbone of firm acidity, and a combination of lightness of texture, and intensity of flavour.

The 'Any Six & Save' discount will be applied to cart upon selection of 6 or more single bottle from the 'Any Six & Save' range. Find out more

Tasting notes by James Halliday

This label is certain to grace some of the greatest Aus pinots and chardonnays in the years ahead, the vineyard (planted in '88) a Tasmanian jewel. The most remarkable part of this wine is its combination of finesse, length and intensity of varietal fruit flavour, in turn based on the laser etching of Tasmanian acidity.

On the nose there are hints of citrus and white flowers with mineral notes.

Palate

On the palate the power and class shine through. A spine of crisp acidity is accompanied by great flavour through the line of the palate. There is a subtlety but also great concentration, and a purity that bodes well for cellaring.

Colour

Pale straw

Oak

10 months in 30% new French oak barriques, the rest second and third use barrels
